DrinkLedger is a drink logger, nothing more and nothing less. Log what you drink in two taps, confirm the days you didn't drink, and see honest statistics about your consumption. No coaching program, no lectures, no account. Your data never leaves your phone. There is no server, no login, and no ad network. Everything is stored on your device, and you can export your complete history as CSV or JSON at any time, for free. LOG QUICKLY - Personal presets: your usual beer or wine is two taps - Custom drinks with volume and alcohol percentage - Log for past days, edit or delete any entry - Confirm alcohol-free days explicitly. Days you didn't track are never silently counted as zero, so your statistics stay honest. HONEST STATISTICS - Grams of pure alcohol as the base unit, shown as WHO standard drinks, US drinks, UK units, or Austrian Standardglas - Color bands you configure yourself show how each day compares to your own limits - Today, the current week, and your confirmed dry days are always free DRINKLEDGER PRO (one-time purchase) - Rolling 7-day, 30-day, and all-time averages - Daily and weekly trend charts - Apple Health sync, write-only: the app never reads your health data - Pay once, keep it forever. No subscription. WHAT DRINKLEDGER DOESN'T DO No goals that nag you. No social feed. No streaks that reward drinking. No ads, no analytics, no data collection of any kind. If you want a coach, there are other apps; if you want a clear, private record of what you actually drink, this is it. Made by one person in Austria who wanted exactly this app and couldn't find it.

Log your drinks. See your patterns. Make room for more alcohol-free days. Soberkind is a private alcohol tracker for anyone cutting back, taking a break or keeping track of their drinking. Start with one daily check-in and see your month on a colorful calendar. YOUR FREE DAILY JOURNAL • Log drinks or mark an alcohol-free day. • Add private notes and edit past entries. • Record an unknown amount when you cannot remember the total. • View monthly statistics, completed-day streaks and rewards. • Try local Leagues with computer-generated opponents and a fresh daily lineup. • Set an optional reminder and add a Home Screen widget. YOUR DIARY, ON YOUR IPHONE No account is required. Your journal is stored locally, without automatic cloud sync. Save a JSON backup, restore it later or export a CSV spreadsheet. Optional Apple Health integration writes known drink totals with your permission; sharing earlier entries requires a separate confirmation. Sign in with Apple is optional. It connects only on this device and does not sync your journal or unlock Plus. You can disconnect it in Profile. GO FURTHER WITH SOBERKIND PLUS Unlock weekly reviews, week comparisons, a year overview and extra recap themes. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. The daily journal remains free. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your Apple Account subscription settings before renewal. The price and billing period are shown before purchase. Yearly is billed in full for the year. Lifetime does not renew or cancel an existing subscription. Manage subscriptions and restore eligible purchases in Profile → Subscription & purchases. Save a JSON backup before deleting the app or changing phones. Restoring purchases restores Plus access, not deleted diary entries. For adults 18+. Soberkind is a personal journal, not medical advice, addiction treatment or an emergency service. It does not establish safe drinking limits or promise a health outcome.
